Count me in. Starting today Sep 29th. A friend has been doing this program for a few months now and really trying to get me involved as well. She has progressed up to running half marathons and has lost heaps of weight - and looks great!!

I am not planning on the marathons anytime soon, but I do have at least 25 kg to drop and want to look better for my sons wedding next year.

I found the podcast from John Ullrey to be invaluable. It really, really helped. I just concentrated on his encouragement and the music, took my dogs, left my phone at home and I feel terrific. Puffed, sweaty and terribly overweight, but terrific

I am already up to nearly 5000 steps today on my pedometer and it is only just past 9 am.

Sorry - it is Robert Ullrey. Check out the home page of C25K and scroll down to the podcasts. Click on the link to Robert Ullreys site. He has a podcast for every week of the program. Great idea. I didn't need to look at a watch - just plugged in the ipod and started - shuffled, really.
